Well, it's decent writing, and I'm sure the kid's mother is proud - but lets get serious. It's a whiney little rant that delivers an opinion, and not the true fact. School kids can pray, bow their heads, and perform almost any religious practice. That is their freedom of speech - just like it is everyone elses' to decide if they will follow suit.
Point being, there is nothing wrong with praying and so forth if you decide to, however, it becomes a legality when it's forced upon you.
I hope that I don't have to go around in a few weeks and untape the printed copy of this from every middle-aged employee's monitor.
EDIT: Might I mention that I do agree with you both on the kid who was suspended for wearing the star.
